Block Style Layout in Raised Bed no. 7.842
Vegetable Gardens
by D. Whiting, C. Wilson, and C. O’Meara1
Figure 5. Raised bed garden with chard, lettuce varieties, spinach, beets and onions.
Because even water distribution is needed for this bed with a heavy plant population, the
drip irrigation hose is run up and down the bed 4 times on a 12-inch spacing. The bed
will be mulched with dry grass clippings to conserve water and control weeds in summer.
Wood chips make an excellent mulching material between beds.
